Hi all, do I need to make any major changes to the truss rod if I am going to use: 11 - 49 with a .064 for the low Ab. I will be tuning Ab-Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb. Thanks guys!
heya all
just got my frist 7 . 25.5 scale . got built with a .70 for drop A . I'm liking the tension but think it could use a touch more definition .happy to give up a touch of tension for a touch of definition
something around .66 ?
Depends what strings you have on there already man - but any tension is not a problem to the guitar. See how it is when it's strung up and then if you need to adjust the truss so be it, nothing to worry about
YupGo as light as you can bare - I've found 25.5 gets unforgiving fast around the 65 point so 66 should be much better than 70.
If you cant achieve balance with 5 spring screwed in all the way then it would be safe to say, you are tuned way to high for that gauge of strings. With that much tension on the bridge, the knife edges of your floyd are going to dull extremely quickly. Either lower the string gauge to better suit the required tuning or consider blocking the bridge. Remember, larger gauges are not necessarily upgrades/improvements.I just upgraded to 0.11-0.65 and my floyd rose bridge springs can't take the tension (the bridge leans towards the fretboard too much). An easily solution is to add more springs, but I don't have room to add more. Should I try to get stronger springs? or should I replace the current system with another that can fit more springs?

Gonna buy a 6 string set from Circle K, the gauges are .011 .015 .019 .027 .037 .051 but I need a string for the 7th string on my DC727, could someone suggest a gauge that would work well for the set I'm buying?
You can construct entire sets like this if you wish, rather than buying the premade sets from Circle K. Though, unlike other companies, their sets are pretty logicalYou may want to check it through the tension PDF yourself.
